ExtremeCloud SD-WAN

This product is used within our office and LAB setup, where multiple rooms and open areas are linked via the same Wireless network, as set up through the Aerohive application. The network itself is used for connectivity and support services by Engineers on-site as well as testing, deploying, and configuring devices remotely.

Aerohive was ahead of the industry when it came to Wireless network hardware and software. Initially, they were one of the first to offer a solution for a busy office environment with a complicated layout and multiple rooms, open areas, and offices that were spread out. The mesh design of the APS was also one of the first of its kind and has proven to be a great solution within our environment.

Remote work from various devices are a must for our users and they cannot be limited to a LAN-only connection.

In a small to medium sized organization Extreme Networks Wireless WAN suits our needs greatly. There are much larger customers using Extreme Networks Wireless WAN as well, but for small to medium the price is competitive.

We had a Wireless network project and used the Aerohive Wireless WAN solution two years ago in our branch. We chose this solution because it is an architecture with cloud management and easy to install, manage and maintain. The Aerohive controller is in a cloud that we can access via the web from anywhere and the access points are installed on the roof of the offices in a plug and play way and connecting to the network via ethernet cable. The ethernet cable itself energizes the equipment and does not require the use of an external power supply. The Aerohive network is excellent, has great performance, good signal coverage and provides a controlled access environment for employees and visitors.

I can say that as an infrastructure analyst I can have absolute control over the wireless network with the Aerohive Wireless WLAN architecture. We manage the network via the Web from anywhere and we have, from a graphical interface, a view and status of all installed access points. We receive notifications when an issue arises and we've already been able to resolve the case. The prices are very good and it has a very modern and compact appearance and design. We recommend technical support also to avoid future hardware issues.
